[Callers] Unsual dances (Levi Jackson mod)

Here's one with an unusual formation: the modified Tempest formation:
*Garbology*
Erik Hoffman
Odd---Modified Tempest Formation
December 1998
A1Ones down center, turn as a Couple, Return, while the twos and threes
slide up the set one Couples place, cast off with (new) same sex two and
three person
A2Hey for Four, ones start, passing Rt shoulder, Couples two and three
acting as "units" latching onto their Partners.
B1Finish the hey (it takes longer with "units"), ones cross to Star Left
with the opposite Couple (ones without Partners)
B2All Balance & Swing Partners (Twos & Threes on the side, Ones in the
middle
Formation is a U shaped triple minor formation, Couple one facing down,
Couple Two to the Right of Couple One, facing in, Couple Three to the
Left of Couple one, also facing in.I set this up by having both the ones
and the twos get Improper, then the twos and threes circle Lft ¼, as in
Becket formation.
On the first walkthrough I haven't taught the progression.When Couples
finally progress, both the Twos & Threes come out at the same time.Since
only one goes in the next time round, I have the Two Couple go in first,
and Couple Three wait out an extra time.At the bottom end, only one
couple goes out at a time. Thus there, when first Couple comes out,
they need to wait for a second Couple before entering the dance.I
suggest the first Couple waiting out become a number Two, the second a
number Three. That means that at each end of the dance it's the other
couple that has to wait twice prior to coming back in.
This dance was written at Camp Harmony, the San Francisco Folk Music
Club's annual new years camp.It was at a workshop where I was making up
"experimental contras."I was naming them for the signs around the
hall.This one landed on the "Garbology" sign -- one discussing the use
of garbage.Since this is something we should all consider, I think it's
well named.
